Vintage Derrick Rose shows up when Knicks needed him most
NY Post
Derrick Rose is supposed to be too old for this. There’s supposed to be too much wear and tear on the tires. The engine isn’t supposed to hop and hum quite the same as it used to. And he certainly isn’t supposed to be the most important player on the basketball floor, in the most important moments of a game.
Yet there he was Sunday afternoon at the Garden. The Knicks had already blown every ounce of a 14-point lead to the Pelicans and then some, staring at a seven-point hole, less than three minutes to go, their feel-good five-game winning streak very much in jeopardy, 2,000 fans wondering if they should try and sneak downstairs for an early train home. Except there was Derrick Rose, 32 years old, saying, “Hang on.”
